Ye Zhuo grasped the Eight-Part Heavenly Scripture in his empty hand.

For three hundred years, through continuous carving and engraving, the ancient Cangjie Script was finally reproduced from ancient relics.

Otherwise, even if you obtain the Heavenly Scripture, it will be of no use.

"You have quite the temper. Even the great god Fuxi didn't have Cangjie Script back then, so how could he use the Heavenly Scripture?"

A line of ancient Cangjie characters appeared.

"Fuxi imprinted the Dao with his mark, Cangjie observed the Dao and created characters. Can the master imprint the Dao on the Heavenly Scripture, so that all things in nature can be understood?"

"Never mind."

Ye Zhuo was surprised that the Heavenly Scripture possessed sentience and could actually speak and answer; it was truly an interesting thing.

However, anything can happen under the sun.

The Eight Demons and the Shadowkhan were used from the Pirate World all the way to the Naruto World, and now to the Ancient Martial World.

Unfortunately, the support they receive is becoming increasingly mediocre.

After mastering the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations, Ye Zhuo in everything and was able to realize the External Body Technique on his own.

This is also known as the ability to create clones.

It's just more powerful.

[Main Quest Unlocked: Global Live Broadcast of Ascension in 100 Days]

[Task Reward: Start the 99-year countdown, <Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique> (Flawless Version)]

Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique?

Ye Zhuo was stunned. Wasn't this the same thing as the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations?

With a tap, the item description appeared, and a line of text came to mind.

[Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique - Flawless Version: Not only does it possess the supernatural power of the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations, but it also has the Sainthood of the Flesh sainthood. After mastering it, one becomes a truly Xiaoyao and ethereal deity.]

Does the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations lack a method for Sainthood of the Flesh?

Ye Zhuo thought for a moment, and it seemed to be in the Investiture of the Gods.

Yuan Hong cultivated the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations, possessing the same transformations as Yang Jian, but ultimately he also met a bad end.

Ultimately, there are differences between the two.

It's likely that Son Goku also possessed the Great Celestial Immortal Art as a supplement and foundation.

There are also Golden Core and other methods to temper the body and cultivate Daoist essence.

Ye Zhuo was somewhat lacking in this respect, having only consumed one Nine-Turn Golden Core.

"Whether the entire sect ascends to immortality or not, it will leave a gateway to heaven for this world."

Ye Zhuo just found it a little strange.

Logically speaking, the Heavenly Gate should have been closed after the Severing Heaven and Earth.

Even if one ascends to heaven, it won't make a difference.

Why is there no next task, and it just starts the countdown to 1999?

Does this mean there are no threats in Heavenly Court?

Ye Zhuo couldn't understand it. If the Heavenly Court truly posed no threat, and the world was peaceful, why would humanity's ancestors have needed to Severing Heaven and Earth to eliminate danger?

All the answers are now irrelevant to Ye Zhuo.

So he simply used Cangjie's characters to write on the Heavenly Scripture, and wrote, "I see much sorrow in heaven and earth, but a spiritual energy will erupt, not only to revive, but also to ensure the continuation and prosperity of the Human Clan for a thousand years. From now on, Life-and-Death Dao and death are up to you."

The moment the words were written, a whooshing sound was heard in my ear.

Ye Zhuo turned around and saw a girl in a white dress standing not far away.

She is indeed Xiao Longnu's daughter, who looks about 70% like her mother and has a similar temperament, only with a touch more of the worldly charm.

Ye Zhuo was originally Immortalization to heaven in the mortal world, so how could his disciples from the Demon Cult be completely detached from worldly affairs?

"Master, my mother just broke through to the Return to Simplicity Realm due to the revival of spiritual energy, and seems to be showing signs of ascension."

The girl respectfully addressed Ye Zhuo, explaining that in the Demon Cult, everyone, regardless of age, addressed Ye Zhuo as the Sect Leader.

"It's alright, the Heavenly Gate hasn't opened yet, there's no need to worry."

It's time.

Ye Zhuo stood up and walked towards the Great Sun Palace.

The cultivation array was activated, and disciples from the Heavenly Dragon Era to the Swordsman Era had all been waiting for a long time.

"A hundred days of seclusion, seeking only ascension."

Ye Zhuo sat in the center of the great formation, his avatar splitting into two, then three, and so on, creating countless avatars to help the sect's disciples cultivate.

One hundred days and nights are enough to help everyone in the Demon Cult reach the Return to Simplicity Realm!

In order to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality!

The Ancient Martial World, Blue Star.

Humans have been living quite comfortably lately. Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, even without eating, they can absorb spiritual energy with every breath, which not only satisfies their hunger but also cleanses the impurities in their bodies.

Human civilization has embarked on a long and arduous journey, moving from technology to integration with spiritual energy and martial arts.

A large number of ancient scriptures and techniques of the Demon Cult have appeared in the world at the same time in various reclusive sects, and countless extraordinary opportunities have been obtained by people with great fortune.

However.

There has always been one taboo: the Great Sun Palace.

Even the disciples who came to pay their respects did not see Ye Zhuo's true face.

The final fog has not yet lifted.

On the contrary, the major sects welcomed their patriarchs back, their presence in their respective regions merely a facade.

In fact, it was to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the revival of spiritual energy.

These patriarchs broke through their cultivation realms and ascended to immortality in the blessed lands where their sects were located.

If they haven't caught up with Ye Zhuo's pace by 100 days and have to rely on their own cultivation, it will take at least another 500 years.

Ascension is not difficult; those at the Martial Dao Golden Core can attempt to undergo tribulation. If one is at the Martial Dao Primordial Spirit, there will be no tribulation at all, so it is unnecessary.

After all, being able to condense Martial Dao Primordial Spirit means that one's essence, energy, and spirit are in harmony, far exceeding the limitations of ordinary mental states.

Why should such people be judged by Heavenly Dao laws and divine retribution?

At the same time.

A post quickly went viral online.

This person claimed to be the Demon Lord Ye Zhuo and posted a self-destructive message.

He wrote about his unbridled and Zhang Wuji and his mindset in creating martial arts, but no one was willing to believe him.

"Has this kid gone mad?"

"Someone actually thinks they're the Demon Lord? I think that's just an old fraud."

"What he said all seemed to make sense, but what exactly is the Martial Dao Longevity Art?"

"I don't know, the Golden Core should be very weak, so why is it still above the Upper Three Realms?"

"Yeah, in fantasy novels, the Golden Core stage is nothing special. I feel like I could break through to the next level in no time."

"Is it difficult to Primordial Spirit? This document says it requires achieving unity of mind and body, and eliminating inner demons. Heh, I can do that with just a glance."

The world still doesn't understand.

This simplified post was indeed made by Ye Zhuo himself, explaining all the major realms.

The Peak Expert were previously seen simultaneously Body Tempering, Qi Condensation, and Spirit Nurturing.

Peak Expert truly reach the Qi Transformation Realm.

Martial Arts Grandmaster is defined as someone who has reached the Foundation Establishment, while Martial Arts Myth is False Core the Core Formation stage.

Above the False Core lies the Martial Longevity path that transcends the Human Dao.

Only after taking these steps can one truly condense the Golden Core.

Almost no one believed Ye Zhuo's post.

Is achieving the Golden Core really that difficult?

Is it really true that even the Foundation Establishment and Qi Transformation stages require First-Rate Expert to begin?

"That's utter nonsense! How could it be that Spirit Nurturing, Body Tempering, and Qi Condensation all start at the same time? This is not like the novels I've read!"

"Indeed, the author clearly doesn't understand it."

While some questioned the claims, others began to provide corroborating evidence.

"In fact, whether it is Buddhism, Daoism, or Confucianism, they all initially possessed both essence, energy, and spirit."

Buddhist Sect includes Zen Sect, which focuses on Spirit Nurturing, as well as martial monks who originated from it, and Esoteric Sect, which originated from yoga.

The Daoist sect, of course, has two branches Celestial Masters Sect, who seek to ascend to the Mandate of Heaven, and the Quanzhen Sect, which cultivates both body and mind.

Confucianism and Daoism originally had the Six Arts of a Gentleman, which included rites, music, archery, horsemanship, literature, and reason, as well as a Righteous Qi.

It can be said that true self-cultivation requires the combination of essence, energy, and spirit.

Someone posted this thread, and every time it was criticized, it was deleted.

No one knew that this debate would prevent Human Clan cultivators from ever being divided into different systems.

That's a story for another time.
